To all whom it may concern: r

`Be it known that I, WILLIAM M. HANEY, a i

citizen of the United States, residingat Belle'- vue, in the county ofJackson and State of Iowa, haveinvented a new and useful Milk and CreamCarrier, of which the following is a specifica# tion, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings.

rlhis invention relates to cans for transporting` milk, cream, and thelike, and has for its object to provide a simple, inexpensive, anddurable can possessing superior advantn ges, in point of generalefcieucy, over those now in IISG.

In the drawings, Figure l is'ja view of a can or vessellelnbodyinginyiin-`v` provelnents. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View ofthe same.`Fig. 3 vis a detail view, in pen spective, of the float.

Referring to the drawings, A designates'the interior can of myimprovedinansporting-ves-l i sel, which colnprises a bottom, B, andperpenicularsides 0,*and has an open mouth, D.

IThis can A is preferably cylindrical in form, and is provided with avertical-wall, E, extend' ing around its mouth.

F is the outer casing, which is formed of wood and with a central bulge,like a barrel. This casing comprises the upright staves G, that areunited to a bottom board, H, by screws I, and are retained. in positionby encirclingv hoops or bands J, a hoop, K, being provided at the topedge ofthe said casing. When the. can A is placedv inside the woodcasing, it will rest Von the bottom of the latter, and an airspace, L,will be formed between the vessels A and 'Fcaused by the bulgeof thelatter, this space beinggreater at the center' and gradaally decreasingtoward the top and bottom. The .flange E and the hoop K are then securedtogether by soldering or other suitable means, so that no milk or creamwill escape into the v air-space, and the neatly together.

two vessels will be secured perspective ing tubular opening, Q, throughwhich the con u tents oi the can are poured, and the float will srise asthe can is iilled. i Y g. R is a hinge, that has one half, S,secured tothe casing F, while its other half, 'Lis slipped into a sheath, U, onthe cover V. By elevating the cover to a perpendicular position it canbe disconnected from the hinge and removed. .The portionl ofthe hinge isprovided with a stop lug or shoulder, "W, that' will limit the movementof the open. Y H

The operation and advantages of iny inven` tion are obvious. the outerwood casing an air-chamber is iornied that will serve to retain thecontents of the can cover and support it when @c 'By reason/'oi thebulge in 'at the proper temperature. The bulge also* enables the innercan to loe securely arranged in connection with the outer easing at thetop and bottonnand yet preserve the central airspace.V

Y -I claim 'as my invention- The combination of the outer wood casing"vcomprising thebulged staves,the`bottom board, to which the staves areconnected, 'the encirj cling-bands J, and the top band or hoop, K, `theinner can having perpendicnlarsides en ranged in the casing so that anair# space is formed between the sides of the can andthe.4

casing, the hoop K and sides ci' the can being secured together, andthecover hinged tothe outer casing?, asset forth.l
